Iran has said the 60-day ceasefire includes a truce in the Israeli offensive in Lebanon. But a senior White House official said that if Iran does not control Hezbollah, Israel has the right to defend itself. This Monday (15), the two sides of the conflict in Lebanon returned to exchange attacks.
The president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, said that the text negotiated with the Americans is an important step, but it is not yet the final agreement. Over the next two months, American and Iranian diplomats will discuss the future of Iran's nuclear program. It is not yet clear what mechanisms will monitor Iran to prevent the country from manufacturing nuclear weapons. The US government has said it will make goodwill gestures such as releasing Iranian funds frozen abroad and lifting sanctions.
On Friday (19), there will be an official signing ceremony of the agreement in Switzerland. Trump has not confirmed whether he will participate. For now, he will be represented by his vice president, J.D. Vance.
